The next day was Saturday, and Adrianna planned to spend the day at home practicing her piano and preparing for the next debate. As she went down the stairs she stopped dead in her tracks when a familiar voice hit her ears. "Yeah, so that's how I got the nickname Hawk Mr. Lennox."
Adrianna thought her heart stopped as she waited for her dad's response. "Wow, that's quite a story," her dad laughed heartily.
"You know," Mrs. Lennox's voice wafted up the stairs, "I'm so happy that Adrianna is making friends. She never goes out."
"Well she is today," she heard Hawk respond.
She chose then to come down all the way towards the kitchen where everyone was seated. "Where exactly am I going?"
"There you are sleepy head," her mom came over to her and gave her a kiss on the forehead, "Your friend Hawk here is such a sweetie, where have you been hiding him?"
"Uh," she stared at her mom as if she had three heads.
Did she actually approve of Hawk?
"Hmmm…for once my daughter is speechless. Never thought I'd see the day," Mr. Lennox laughed as he patted Hawk on the back.
"Yeah, I seem to have that effect on her," Hawk smiled wryly.
Adrianna made a face and started to open her mouth to say something, but Hawk cut her off.
"Well we better be going. See ya later Mr. and Mrs. L."
"Have a good time guys!"
